Alain M Despite Wesley Snipes' involvement, '7 Seconds' struggles to find its footing in the action/drama genre. The film falls short in delivering a compelling narrative, failing to capitalize on Snipes' talent. Despite attempts at tension and drama, the execution lacks the necessary depth and engagement, leaving audiences disconnected from the storyline. While Snipes brings his signature charisma, even his presence isn't enough to salvage this lackluster drama. Unfortunately, '7 Seconds' misses the mark in delivering a captivating experience. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Täytyy olla täydellinen morooni, että pysty katsomaan tällaista paskaa edes pikakelauksella. Kuten siis juuri tein. On tainnu olla Romaniassa takaa-ajokohtauksia tekevällä firmalla "kaksi yhden hinnalla"-tyyppinen kamppis menossa. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Car chases are well planned and executed giving a thrilling ride for outstanding entertainment. Wesley and Tamzin are fun together making for an enjoyable characterization. Script and story are finely written making for a mystery that is enjoyable and intriguing. Filming lacks the edge of a bond film, yet has sufficient action to keep one amused. Nibbles: Bread and butter pudding. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member So boring, bland, embarrassingly awful, under-whelming and badly acted was '7 seconds', that I happily dozed off halfway through with not one whit of guilt (I usually like to see a film through to the bitter end before pronouncing such a damning indictment). The only cast member with any acting ability was Wesley Snipes and even he appeared lackluster and weary in this miserably concocted heist 'thriller' (I use the word in the loosest sense of the meaning). Set in Romania, no visual attention was paid to any of its natural and cultural assets, history, art or scenic beauty; we were only 'treated' to scenes of the inner city of some drab, faceless, 'Eastern European' country filled with dull, clichéd characters lacking any iota of personality. The one-dimensional plot dragged along like a month of wet Sundays as one set of gangsters chased another set of gangsters who had (yawn) accidentally stolen an expensive painting from an armoured 'brinks' vehicle - that's about all I remember (or care to remember) of it and it would be a waste of your and my time in saying much more about this ill-conceived plot. The few attempts at humour were wincingly painful, the visuals dull and colourless, and the acting cringe-making. I do hope the script writer and director (Simon Fellows) are now in hiding and have made a written promise (in their own blood) never to subject the public to another of their ill-fated attempts at film making - and I do hope Wesley Snipes has recovered from the ignominy of appearing in such a bunch of drivel. Unless you're an insomniac looking for a cure for your sleeplessness, DON'T watch this movie! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfortunately 7 Seconds was like so many other films. Just because you have a good idea on a plot doesn't mean you'll get a good movie if there is poor execution. Outside of Wesley Snipes, the rest of the cast was absolutely horrible. The acting was so bad that the few scenes in the film that were meant to deliver emotion fell flat on their faces. Even worse than the acting was the pathetic action sequences. The car chases were a joke and the gun fights and fist fights were even more ridiculous. Seeing random things blowing up in an unrealistic way doesn't do anyone any good. The only reason this movie is even watchable is because Snipes is still great and the story was mildly interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member i've just seen this film and its terrible. The fight scenes are really unrealistic: people being knocked out with a slap in the face. The dialogue is often cringing and the characters silly. Tasmin's acting is as poor as the Bulgarian Polices driving . Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
